I've spent a considerable amount of time on merb and I don't hear the Montreal guys complaining either.
Pooning In Merto Vancouver: WTF Is Going On?

Well it's possible they look at prices in other markets and feel they're getting a deal but they don't do an income to SP cost comparison. Perception is everything in this world. I've worked in and visited Montreal many times. I've always felt they had a far more open minded mentality to things like paying for sex. And at the risk of starting a flame war with someone in Toronto it's not always the happiest place on the planet ;-).
Any educated person knows how free market works, but it would be too simplistic to use this concept in our case. When deliberate fraud is involved, it's not about free market any longer, but about criminal activities - and this works way differently. And fraud directly affects the pricing, and definitely not in our favour. Here is why...
All these fake pics scammers, and even those with 'real' pics lying about their age / services / body stats are not after happy / repeat clients - they know most of their clients will never return due to the obvious reasons. These SPs count on defrauding as many pooners as possible for as much cash as possible. So considering sub standard 'services' scammers provide (low or no value), their prices are grossly inflated by definition as they usually don't stand a second chance with their clients and don't care about client retention. Legit SPs (who don't use misrepresentation at all) are rare, and tend to charge outrageous prices for ordinary services (nothing upscale or outstanding) just for the fact of not being scammers. This has nothing to do with free market / competition. Criminal activities (fraud) are always way more profitable compare to actually providing quality services and competing with other providers. Quality service providers can't compete with fraudsters as scammers' profit margins are incomparably higher. So they just hike their rates as the whole market is artificially inflated by fraud.
And who facilitates fraud? Leolist in the first place. Any legit / reputable board would never tolerate scammers, and would immediately ban / moderate any misrepresentation / insufficient information by their advertisers. Not the case with Leolist which 100% tolerates fraud unless advertisers are willing to get verified on their own.
Stop the fraud and get affordable SP rates which would reflect the average income in Metro Vancouver. It's all that simple.
I've always thought the quality and service of the ladies in Victoria was top notch with the pricing substantially lower than Vancouver.
I was going to ask about the current Victoria market. I worked there for a year after having worked on the mainland for a few years, and found that the rates were definitely lower there, back then.
This statement is so bizarre that I can't even figure out how to come up with a counter argument. Could you, please, explain first why PAID sex should NOT be affordable?
'...choosing to sell their bodies' - OMG!!! How did you manage to come up with this 19th century terminology? SP don't 'sell their bodies' - they provide services. Just for your future reference...
And having 5 clients a day for $100 each would result in $500 tax free A DAY / $10,000+ A MONTH (working full time 40 hours a week), which is an amazing income even for Metro Vancouver!
Leolist is just an advertising forum. The lady pays for the ad and she gets to publish what she wants. It's not up to them to verify/ deny everything that's said. It's Caveat Emptor (buyer beware). Having said that they do have tools for people to report ads that violate their rules. They have a button on each ad that says "Report Ad" if you see an ad that violates their rules. Here's a quick link. https://www.leolist.cc/kb#sec1. I don't want to copy and paste their whole section but I did want to point out this portion...
When I see that I don't see a website that facilitates fraud.
Publicly pointing out the inaccuracies of an ad is not a tool that is available on Leolist and it's probably a good thing because it would be abused by rivals and their White Knights. For example I give you the report a post button on Craigslist. That's what makes forums like PERB useful. This is a useful tool for the customers. It helps other guys avoid the scams and point guys in the right direction instead.
If we are talking about US and Canada - the answer is NONE! Except for Montreal to a certain degree as other pooners have mentioned in this thread.
The problem with most of pooners in Vancouver is that they don't know any better, and they don't realize that what they currently have is absolutely substandard, uncivilized, and, I would say, barbaric.
Check this out, for example (use Chrome browser to translate if you have to), and you'll see the difference:

Even this forum doesn't even come close though technically it's very easy to match the above example.

What you are referring to is a standard disclaimer any site of this kind (even fraudulent) would have. It's not about what they claim, but what they actually do to prevent fraud.
But lets do a test: I'm gonna report a few fake pic ads, and let's see what happens... I bet NOTHING!!!
I was right: 'Thank you. This ad has been reported.
As we are a community moderated site, our staff is only notified after several unique reports are submitted for a specific ad.'
They also don't let you point out why exactly you are reporting an ad. It's useless, they don't mean it, and they will do nothing about it. Period. They are a part of the fraud ring.
1 hour - $400 !!!!!!!!!???????????? And that's the lowest rate available? And that's in the city with the median household income of 67K (that's less than 34K per person minus taxes)?
Are you serious? This is not Dubai, this is lowlife Vancouver. What would warrant spending $400 for sex for someone who is not a drug trafficker / dealer / gangster / money launderer no matter how good it is? If Miss Snow caters to the above categories, that's up to her, but I don't belong to any of them, and not willing to!

1. I just reviewed my copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights. I could not find a statute claiming "the right to cheap, readily available pussy" anywhere in it. Maybe there is a future as leader of the "Pooner Party"?. Think outside the box. A fully legal sex trade means that a corporation could offer free sex to it's staff as part of the benefit package.
2. You could always try dating. I can't speak for other pooners but my experience has always been that it's usually far more cost efficient that paying for sex. And, just off the top of my head, I'd say dating = a higher percentage of "hot sex" than paying for it. I don't want to give away all my smooth moves online but I tend to start by saying "Hello".
lol - you read my mind earlier. I was going to research whether having sex was a 'right' or a 'privilege' (a luxury only the wealthy can afford).
Seriously? You sound like a spoiled child rolling around the floor in the Walmart toy section.
Go read up on that free market you claim to understand.
Obviously paid sex is affordable. If nobody was paying 400 then the person charging 400 would change their price. So it is affordable to enough consumers to maintain pricing. You might not pay it but someone else does.
Why should vendors reduce their prices to accomodate you? You are not the only consumer of their product. They sell to the highest bidder. It's not their fault you never made an effort to better yourself so you could afford their services. They owe you nothing.
You know all this of course, we both know you are trolling.
If not you have a real issue with entitlement.
I stopped reading after the first page. Let's all hit the troll button and get on with life.
Thread and OP is a total complete WOT.

LOL, I see what you did there... Have to agree with other's comments on Papacito coming across as rather entitled, giving me a good idea which generation he belongs to...

Did I ever tell you about the time I was fighting for your right to "cheap and available pussy". I was a reservist with the 39th Canadian Brigade & I saw the opportunity on the board so I volunteered. Out I went, C8 in hand, fighting the forces opposing "cheap, available pussy".
Well brother, I found myself barricaded in the Cactus Club on Denman Street. Short on ammo, my radio dead, I stared across the road as Trisha Baptie and the Vancouver Abolition Coalition circled me. With nothing but water behind me I prayed for the sound of a CH-146 to echo across English Bay. It never came. The woman came, mouths frothing as they screamed "poooooner, pooooner". No one else thought anything of it because they were sure it was the Walking Dead being filmed. My fate sealed I fled into the Cactus Club. And through the grace of God, I met several sex workers I know out with clients. They assisted me in pushing back the rogue forces..now apparently holed up on Gambier Island planning their next attack. Lucky for us all..the high cost of BC Ferries and gas has made it impossible for them to stage another attack.
